Secret #5 To save $$$ when buying

There are Questions You should Ask all Mortgage Lenders.

By taking a few minutes to understand how the “game” works, you can save yourself thousands of dollars, and get a loan that best fits your personal situation. But we’re not done yet. It’s now time to meet with your lender, or lenders, face-to-face.

Now he or she is going to ask you a lot of questions in order to better your situation and find the loan package that works best. In order to compare lenders you might also ask questions as well, such as:

1. What types of loan program options do I have and how do they compare?
2. Will I be charged separate discount points? If so, how much?
3. Will I be charged a separate document preparation fee? How much is it?
4. Will I be charged a separate underwriting fee?
5. Will there be additional fees at closing? What is the total of all these costs?
6. Is there a Lock Period with this loan? If so, how long?
7. What will my annual percentage rate be with this loan?

Remember, you have a right to this information, and mortgage lenders will answer these questions without hesitation. Also, in Delaware lenders provide a Good Faith Estimate which should will cover most of these questions. Never feel that you’re imposing on them.
